Abstract

. Considers the chemical, physical and mechanical properties of polymer-derived ceramics obtained on the basis of organosilicon polymers. High resistance of ceramics to oxidation, creep, crystallization and phase separation up to temperatures above 1500 °C, high chemical resistance in harsh environments are noted. The unique set of properties of ceramics provides it with a wide range of applications, including in the composition of ceramic matrix composites (fibers and matrices), in 3D printing, in protective coatings and microcomponents for electronics. Promising areas of application of ceramics and specific examples of its current use in various constructions are considered.
